Some questions about Secure NFC

I didn't find the topic about "Secure MCUs", so I posted the question here that relative to NFC.

In the Secure NFC (https://www.st.com/en/secure-mcus/secure-nfc.html) section, there is a video on the bottom of the page, named "NFC secure mobile point of sales". In the video, the speaker used a smartphone to scan the credit card to complete a purchase through NFC, I wonder what roles the Secure NFC played in this demo. Actually I can implement the same function through the normal embedded NFC without the Secure NFC.

    Hello,

    This video demonstrate the Mobile Point of Sale application from our partner Mobeewave. On this demo the Secure Element hosts the EMV kernel which has to be located in a secure environment according to PCI rules. There is of course the possibility from a functional standpoint to implement this kernel on Android user space, but this would in this case potentially violate some security rules from payment schemes. For any further question on this application, I would recommend you to contact Mobeewave.

    Best Regards,

    Alex
